Fees are invoiced at the beginning of each month. Fees are payable whether your child is present at Nursery or not.

This includes, sickness, training days, outings, unforeseen weather, holidays, and bank holidays. Late payment will incur an additional charge. 

 

Consumable charges

As per the new government legislation this is a voluntary decision and families can decide what is best for their individual circumstances, however we feel we must be clear in the fact that if you chose to ‘opt-out’ you will be given a list of items you would need to provide for your child

​

We charge 50p per 3 hour session for consumables. This will cover the cost of healthy snack, learning resources including sensory and experimental resources & equipment; our forest school  ‘baking’, gardening, some outdoor learning, events and festival resources,  sun cream. From Jan 2026 our consumable charge will increase to £1.50 per 3 hour session.​

​

Please note – if you choose to ‘Opt-Out’ of the charge above you will have to provide every session 

All snacks for your child, in-line with our healthy snack policy 4.11 for example fresh fruit, rice cakes, vegetable, breadsticks bread, cracker. 

 

Some Enhanced Provision experiences. These may include sensory/investigative play resources e.g., rice, flour, gloop, pasta. Forest school resource e.g., wood, nails, screws, drills, fabrics, hammers, seeds, planting items etc. ‘Baking’ activities. Festival and events may inc. pancake day, Easter, Mother’s/Father’s Day, Christmas, Chinese New Year etc. We are an ‘In the Moment’ planning sessions so we like to have these resources to hand.

 

We may need to revise this model and the full days we offer if it becomes financially untenable.
